The News in a Paper.

There are many things in this paper
you don't like. There are always some
things in it we don't like. But what
would you have This is a world of
variety and nothing in this variety is so
strikingly manifest as in the opinions of
men. Editors say things which exas-
perate readers. Correspondence express
opinions which editors believe all wrong.
And so the world wags The narrow
minded refuse to tolerate any opinions
that were not made in their shop. We
knew man once who discontinued his
subscription to newspaper because it
printed communication criticising the
the Masonic order, although the editor,
in the same issue, distinctly declared that
he did not sympathize with the views of
the correspondent. Such people the
world contains, and it is more the better
for them. The sensible man is not like
this. He holds his own opinions tena-
ciously and defends them warmly. But
he comedies to others the right of having
opinions also, nor is he afraid to hear or
read them. This is decidedly the better
way.

death yesterday morning, and check for

this morning by their representative, Mr..

advantages of this company-its payments

son can make provision in time of death,
the collections are made weekly, and the

After short Introductory talk by Prof.
Reid at the Oxford League meeting last
night, at the First NJ i. Church, Prof
Hall conducted the meeting and reviewed
the Bible lesson. His subject was ''Jeru-
salem, which he illustrated by means of
a large map Of the city in its ancient time
drawn on a black board The study of
the city was confined to the exterior; at
the next meeting the interior will be look
ed into. After an instructive illustrative
lecture by the Professor, several views of
the exterior of the city of Jerusalem were
shown by magic lantern. The literary
and musical program for the evening was

was introduced with defamation, ''The
Battle of lvry' by Master Gee. Watkins,

tation, The Last Hymn, by Miss Betty

thy an elocutionist The entire exercises
of the evening were very entertaining and
much enjoyed by large number of visi-

A Divine Command.

THE Lord is in His Holy Temple. LEI
all the earth keep silence before Him, SIS q
divine command and one which we often
see painted above the altar or pulpit, vet
many people go to church with no feeling
of reverence whatever, but laugh and
talk in the church and vestibule. Giddv
girls and hayward youths are given to
this practice, but, could they see them
selves as others see them, we are sure
they would deport themselves differently.
There is too much irreverence in our
churches here, and the sooner it is cor
rected the better.
